The discovery of two bodies in the landing gear of a JetBlue plane on Monday night has drawn widespread attention. The flight had arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport from New York City. While tragic and unsettling, such incidents, though rare, are not unprecedented.

Two people were found dead inside a plane's landing gear area Monday night after it arrived at a Florida airport. It's not the first time people have died in the wheel well of a plane. Stowaways have hidden in the landing gear area in the past to sneak onto flights.

Broward County authorities said that two people were found in the aircraft landing gear compartment of a JetBlue passenger airplane that landed at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Monday night.
